Skeptics Members

Don Riefler’s letter to James Randi as he was the first President and a co-founder of the Skeptics Society.
I believe Purdue Skeptics Society member John Armstrong would have graduated right before this letter in 2007. John (or maybe somebody with the same first and last names as him since Armstrong is a common name) wrote this "Passing the Test" letter to James Randi's SWIFT.

Annotated/Commentated

The Skeptic's Annotated Bible. I recommend starting with Revelation to see the preposterous "End Time" scenarios. Many years ago, the first time that I noticed cruel absurdity in the Bible was where God turns Lot's wife into a pillar of salt.
The Skeptic's Annotated Book of Mormon & Pearl of Great Price.
The Skeptic's Annotated Quran in English. I thought I'd mention that Jesus is Esa and Mary/Miriam is Maryam in the chapter of Mary/Maryam. Other cultures believe in Jesus, but it's a different concept of Jesus. There's a Muslim group in Britain that believe that instead of Jesus dying on the cross, he didn't die and then he ascended to the Heavens.
Scientific Method Man. I'm nicknaming this as, "The Annotated Voynich manuscript."
Commentary on D. James Kennedy's book Why I Believe
Buddika's 300 Creationist Lies Index
I can't find the web site anymore, but there's a list of more than 100 factual errors in The Amityville Horror books and movies.
Chris Nelson's "Brief History of The Apocalypse" is an excellent source to debunk End Times myths. An asteroid might crash into Earth in 30 million years. The Sun will reach its expansion stage and burn up the Earh in about 4.5 billion years. There was a news article that I can't find anymore that was written by somebody else where scientists explained why they think that mankind will die out in 5 million years.

Non-Skeptical

Crop Circle Connector . I don't believe that extra-terrestrials make crop circles. Although I think that a lot of crop circles are gorgeous.
MUFON . MUFON used to stand for Midwest UFO Network instead of Mutual UFO Network.

Snopes.com . I'm going to start with the supposed Amityville Horror . It wasn't haunted for real. However, a mass murder happened there. The son apparently had mental problems and said that witches told him to do it. The motive probably was that he didn't get as much money as he wanted and he killed his six family members for the inheritence or it was his robbery gone terribly wrong. I hope that the son spends the rest of his life in prison.
Stop Sylvia Browne. Sylvia Browne says she's a medium. Actually she's an extra large.
